Skydive Dubai: How to Book Your Jump Over Palm Jumeirah, Cost & Pro Tips

Skydive Dubai is not just another adventure activity; it is one of the top-rated experiences in Dubai tourism. The facility is run by professional skydivers and supported by the finest safety records and is internationally recognised by its Palm Dropzone, where jumpers can simulate skydiving over Palm Jumeirah Dubai. There is no better panorama of the archipelago, the blue-clean waters of the Gulf, and the epic skyline of Dubai.

Skydive Dubai operates in two primary drop zones:

1. Palm Dropzone

This is the most popular and exclusive location available to tourists and is situated close to Dubai Marina. It gives front row aerial views of Palm Jumeirah, Bluewater Island, and the Dubai coastal belt. It is particularly excellent as a choice for a first-timer to the sport and any traveller wishing to experience cinematic scenery.

2. Desert Dropzone

Located in the countryside, in the golden dunes, this dropzone best suits experienced skydivers or those who need a somewhat more budget-friendly solution. It provides picturesque desert views and a more tranquil vibe as compared to the crowded coastline.
